3DS Version

[YT]C64vXWJo-5I[/YT] Remastered from the 2011 PSP game, the Nintendo 3DS rendition of Corpse Party will feature redrawn, high-resolution character sprites, newly arranged music tracks, and 3D art stills, as well as four new Extra Chapters exclusive to this version that provide insight into lesser-shown characters and plot elements previously left unexplained. This title has been rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB.




PC Version

[YT]J87yUfHcnw8[/YT] Localized directly from the original independent PC version, which was previously never released outside of Japan, the worldwide Windows PC release of Corpse Party will feature all the original art and voice-acting, as well as a bevy of new features exclusive to this version. Among other inclusions, such as multiple endings and scenes that differ from the PSP and upcoming Nintendo 3DS releases, this version boasts four bonus chapters on top of the game’s five main story chapters, one of which is a PC-exclusive retelling of the “Tooth” story from Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, recreated with added content in classic Corpse Party adventure style. Players seeking to complete every ending will find that this version also contains a speedy fast-forward function for seamless replayability. The Windows PC version of Corpse Party is not rated by the ESRB.

Corpse Party 3DS Will Keep Japanese Voiceovers, Won’t Be Censored. April 18, 2016 . 1:00am

XSEED Games announced that Corpse Party is headed to PC on April 25. They also revealed that the 3DS version is releasing in North America this summer, and have provided additional details on the handheld version.

XSEED Games announced that Corpse Party is headed to PC on April 25. They also revealed that the 3DS version is releasing in North America this summer, and have provided additional details on the handheld version.



[Thanks, Nintendo Everything.]

Here are some of the tidbits XSEED provided on the 3DS version of the game:
​

– Worry the First: The 3DS version has no voice-acting, right?
Wrong! The 3DS version is fully voiced, utilizing the exact same Japanese-language voice recordings as the PSP version of the game, in all their 3D binaural glory. I think the origin of this rumor may have been the four 3DS-exclusive Extra Chapters – new content created specifically for this version of the game. These four Extra Chapters are not voiced (save for flashbacks to other parts of the game), but every other Chapter and Extra Chapter is, with not a single voice file from the PSP version missing or unaccounted for.

– Worry the Second: The 3DS version has to be censored, right?
Nope! All versions of Corpse Party released by XSEED Games are presented to you with no content removed or altered whatsoever (save for the small handful of sniggly things we had to change for legal reasons, like a Nokia ringtone). The ESRB M rating exists for a reason, after all, and our M rating for Corpse Party 3DS has already been secured.

​

– Worry the Third: No physical for 3DS, right?
Incorrect! The 3DS version will be available either digitally via the Nintendo 3DS eShop for $29.99, or physically in a “Back to School Edition” for $49.99 (pictured above). The Back to School Edition includes figurines of the characters Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara (with interchangeable faces), as well as a nearly 80-minute music CD containing all the remaining PSP/3DS version Corpse Party music we couldn’t fit on our “Songs of the Dead” compilation (as well as a few tracks unique to the 3DS version of the game!). So physical Corpse Party 1 is a go, for the first time ever in English!

​

– Worry the Fourth: I heard some of the PC version content was too gruesome for the PSP version of the game! Is that true? And is that gruesome content present in your PC release?!

We’ve heard that too… from you guys! The rumor is, some of the content from the PC version was removed for the handheld ports solely to prevent the game from getting too high a CERO rating in Japan, but I’m… honestly not sure if that’s true or not. There are definitely some endings unique to the PC version, but none of them seem any more gruesome than some of the endings present in all versions of Corpse Party. There’s a rather unsettling insect-related scene in the PC game that isn’t present in the PSP version, but that’s likely because the PC game was released episodically in Japan, and Chapter 5 (where the scene in question plays) didn’t actually come out until after the PSP game, meaning it’s more of an addition for PC fans than an omission for PSPers. (This is supported by the scene’s subsequent inclusion in the 3DS version of the game.)

Other than the odd ending here and there, the only thing I know for certain that was removed from the PC version when it made the jump to PSP is… a trail of blood on the hallway floor during one particular scene. I can’t say for certain why that was removed, but I don’t see how it would’ve affected the game’s content rating when other parts of the game are far, far more disturbing.

And either way, once again, you needn’t worry about things being removed or altered on our end: everything present in the final Japanese PC release of the game will be present in our PC release as well, just as everything present in the Japanese 3DS game will be present in our 3DS release. We will be making absolutely no content changes on either front.
​

Corpse Party will release for PC on April 25, 2016. The Nintendo 3DS version will release in North America in summer 2016.

  E3 2016: XSEED Releases Details on Corpse Party (3DS)
  
  Posted on June 14, 2016 | 0 Comments
  Coming to haunt American 3DS systems this summer!Continue Reading...
  

[FONT=&quot]

XSEED Games have sent us a press release outlining some of the features of the 3DS version of horror visual novel Corpse Party they are publishing physically and digitally in North America this Summer.

This is the definitive version of the game that follows the original PC release and the subsequent port to the PSP, including additional endings and chapters exclusive to this version of the title.

Published by Mages/5pb in Japan, the single player game follows Mayu Suzumoto as she seeks to rescue her friends from an alternate dimension after a ritual experiment goes wrong. There is no information on a European release date yet.


[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]You can view the press release, the screenshot gallery and a trailer below.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Title: Corpse Party[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Publisher: XSEED Games[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Platform: Nintendo 3DS[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Genre: Horror/Adventure[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Players: 1 player

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Kisaragi Academy student Mayu Suzumoto is transferring to a new high school, leaving behind a sizable group of friends and countless lovely memories. To help her cope with this move, her friend Ayumi has devised a seemingly innocent plan: the whole group will come together to perform a charm she found on the internet called “Sachiko Ever After,” which is supposed to bind all of its participants together as friends to the end.

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]This does not go as expected.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Following an intense earthquake, the group awakens to find themselves separated and trapped in an alternate reality version of Heavenly Host Elementary School, a tragedy-stricken institution that once stood on the site of their own school but was torn down long ago. Here, the vengeful spirits of elementary-aged children threaten their lives and their sanity, and the only hope of survival – much less escape – is to uncover the chilling details surrounding the murders of those trapped before them.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having previously gained a considerable fanbase when released digitally on the PSP™ system, this reimagining on the Nintendo 3DS™ system represents the first time the original cult classic horror title that spawned a new indie sub-genre will see a physical release in North America. Exclusive new features include 3D art stills, Touch Screen menus, four additional Extra Chapters, expanded story scenes, an in-game character encyclopedia, redrawn character sprites, and newly arranged music tracks. This is the definitive version of the classic horror tale that spans over 50 years of tragedy, where player choices determine both how the story ends and who lives to see it through.


[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]KEY FEATURES[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Highly Detailed Retro-Style Graphics Used to Enhance Atmosphere[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]16-bit-style 2D visuals modeled after the original indie game help create an intentional disconnect that sparks the imagination, leading the player to envision far worse things than even the most powerful next-gen system could display.

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Adventure-Style Gameplay Where Your Decisions Make All the Difference

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Playing like a cross between a point-and-click adventure game and a classic JRPG without battles, players have the freedom to explore every last corner of Heavenly Host Elementary School, significantly altering the course of the story and its final conclusion based on where the characters go and what they do.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Chapter-Based Storytelling with Fourteen Lore-Expanding “Extra Chapters”

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Told through five main story chapters with multiple endings each, along with fourteen “Extra Chapters” that expand the series’ considerable lore. Four new Extra Chapters are exclusive to this iteration, providing insight into plot elements that were previously left unexplained and characters who’ve never quite gotten their fair share of screen time.

[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Exclusive Bonus Content Mixed with Fan-Favorite Features


[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Features the original cast of Japanese voice actors enhanced with binaural 3D recording techniques to create a simulated surround sound experience when playing with headphones, offering players a delightfully uncomfortable level of immersion. Exclusive to this version are 3D art stills, arranged music tracks, redrawn high-resolution character sprites, and much more![/FONT]

Corpse Party was announced for North America by Xseed a while ago, where we’ll see it released next month. While not an official announcement, a listing on the Nintendo eShop reveal its European release. [Thanks, Nintendo Everything.]

The listing shows that the upcoming horror title on 3DS is set for release in PAL regions on October 26, 2016, which is just a day after the North American release date; however, keep in mind that the date lands on Wednesday, which isn’t a common launch day for digital titles from Nintendo, so we’ll likely see a different date when it gets officially announced.

Corpse Party will go for €29.99 when it releases in Europe.

ESRB rates Corpse Party: Blood Drive for Switch
Published 3 hours ago. 17 comments.

2014-released survival horror game adding a new platform?

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated Corpse Party: Blood Drive for Switch.

The Team GrisGris and 5pb.-developed survival horror game was first released for PS Vita in July 2014 in Japan, followed by October 2015 in North America and Europe. An iOS and Android version was released worldwide in February 2017.

Here is the ESRB’s description of the game:

This is a survival-horror adventure game in which players help students escape a haunted school. From an over-head perspective, players traverse environments, avoid monsters, and interact with various objects and characters. Cutscenes sometimes depict various acts of violence: a man stabbing himself with a knife; a character crucified and burned. Violence is also described in text (e.g., “She continued to hack at me, again and again. . . From behind me, I could hear the sound of blood gushing into the air from the gaping hole above my neck”). Blood is frequently depicted near corpses and when characters are injured. During the course of the game, a handful of sequences depict characters whose nude bodies are partially obscured by lights, steam, and/or other body parts. Some sequences are accompanied by suggestive dialogue (e.g.,“Not that I’d expect you to be too turned on by these raisins o’mine,” “Hey, stop jiggling them,” “And where do you think you’re touching?! Those are my boobs!”). The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in dialogue.

Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash launches April 10 in the west
Published 2 days ago. 8 comments.

Opening cinematic and screenshots released.

Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash will launch for PC in the west via Steam, GOG, and The Humble Store on April 10 for $19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99 with a 10 percent launch week discount.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Sachiko Shinozaki, tragically murdered at age seven; such a sweet girl, taken away at such a young and tender age! Sure, she may have reacted by becoming a bloodthirsty, vengeful spirit responsible for the deaths of countless other children, as well as their erasures from history, but everyone knows that in her heart of hearts, she’s just an ordinary, innocent little seven-year-old…right?

Well, no. Because you see, today is her birthday! She’ll be turning… seven again, naturally. But in celebration, she’s decided to grant all her victims 24 hours of amnesty from their suffering by gathering them all together for a…hysteric? birthday bash. There will be party games, entertainment, adventure, and most of all, romance!

Join Sachiko and the lovable cast of damned souls from previous Corpse Party games—along with a few new faces—as they take the very concept of genre and toss it aside. Prepare to experience terror, discomfort, joviality, and confusion in equal measure as Heavenly Host Elementary plays less-than-heavenly host to cooking contests, co-ed mixers, interpretive stage drama, traditional party games, and Lovecraftian horrors alike.

Because you know what they say: Hell hath no fury like a seven-year-old girl bored…

A (surprisingly) canonical “midquel” to Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, taking place sometime during the course of those games, Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash recounts the bizarre events of vengeful ghost girl Sachiko Shinozaki’s one-of-a-kind birthday party held in the otherworldly school where so many lives have been lost in previous games: Heavenly Host Elementary.

The game plays out as a visual novel, divided into eight main chapters that each detail a different activity or cluster of activities. Player decisions determine which of the game’s endings is attained, with only one true ending from each chapter leading into the next. Surviving to the end will require thinking like Sachiko and making the choices that will please her the most…but with the fewest casualties.

• Key Features
  Dark Comedy and Nonstop Fanservice – Put on a play, make a movie, attend a mixer, run a race, cook some curry, and more! Indulge Sachiko’s whims, and see new sides of fan-favorite characters in the process.
  
  
• 28 Endings Later – Player decisions lead to one of 28 endings, including countless bizarre deaths.
• Extra Chapter Presented in Traditional Horror Style – Complete the game to unlock a traditionally styled Extra Chapter detailing the tragic backstories of new characters Azusa Takai and Ran Kobayashi.
• Japanese Voices Like You’ve Never Heard Them Before – All original actors reprise their roles, but take them to new and unexpected places…
